Hi Grumpy that bent wire is for the governor. it's the small shaft with the spring and the tiny as you call it Jesus clip.(must be called Jesus cause Ive said that a few times. No offense if your religious)i tried rotating the engine but you need little fingers to get underneath to put that clip on plus it's underneath the flyweight so you cant see the groove it sits in.
GOT IT !! took the Jesus clip off and clipped it back on further up the shaft slid the shaft through and the spring pushed the clip backwards and into its groove YAY !!
OK now need to set the points gap manual says .020 i don't have any gap tools so any idea how much that is. like the thickness of a piece of paper or something else business card ?? Pete
